Works by Tim Carr presented by Evalyn Dunn´s Gallery

   Tim lives on a small farm north of Athens, Georgia, where the land begins to roll gently into the foothills of the Southern Appalachian Mountains. He share the farm with his wife Carol and a great number of animals, too numerous to mention by name but who clearly oversee the homestead.

   Tim was born on the banks of the Mississippi River in the Missouri bootheel and moved frequently as a child. He remembers his first oil painting class at an Atlanta YMCA during the summer before fifth grade. He and his best friend Alan surprised their families with their very first "art show" in that same year. Tim and Alan proudly displayed the nudes they had painstakingly rendered from Alan's mother´s heretofore carefully hidden college art texts.

   Tim earned the privilege of his own art textbooks, and their accompanying BFA, from Southern Illinois University. He was an Art Director in the world of advertising for organizations such as Hallmark Cards and the Gannett CO. before returning to Georgia to take up painting in earnest.

   Tim´s work is displayed in several galleries in the Southeast. His work is largely focused on what he sees as the spiritual quality of water, devoting his time to portraying the waters of the mountains as well as the sea and lowcounty marsh. Tim attributes much of his love for the natural world, and his ability to talk to horses, to being part Cherokee.
